Su Kairong said goodbye happily and left. Qin Feng looked at his shaking shoulders and felt that this guy must have found Geng Jingming, who is the Minister of Revenue, and he can retire early and go to Changlong to make a lot of money. If you think beautifully, you have to squeeze you well for a few years. Geng Jingming is good at Kaiyuan, and you have done a good job in reducing expenses. The two match each other and complement each other.

"Mr. Le, call the clever hands to come in." Qin Feng withdrew his gaze and thought about it. The problem of deflation that Su Kairong just mentioned just now sounded quite a problem. The Chief Auxiliary gathered several departments to solve this problem. The Ministry of War was only one of them, and the Ministry of Works' major project was also one of them. If you want to ask the Ministry of Works' major project, you will plan it.

After a while, he walked into Qin Feng's room with a lot of information in his hand. When Eunuch Le went to invite him, he had already told him what His Majesty wanted to know.

"Your Majesty, the Chief Auxiliary convenes several departments to discuss the solution to the problem of deflation, which is to print money desperately and use it desperately." Jieshou smiled and said, "But our Ministry of Works has never been so generous in its use. As long as the plan is taken out and passed the review, the construction can be started immediately. Your Majesty, this is our project plan for the last three months of this year and the whole year next year."

Looking at a lot of reports and drawings, Qin Feng's face turned dark, "What are you doing with these? You just need to give me a summary." Could it be that you still have to read them one by one?

"I originally wanted to give Your Majesty a more intuitive understanding!" She rolled everything with clever hands and piled it onto a chair on the side: "Your Majesty, then I'll introduce it to you."

"Tell me quickly, I will see several more people later?" Qin Feng said.

"Your Majesty, the biggest project next year is the construction of two railways. The railway bureau has already had the plan, and they have already checked the routes, one is from Shayang County to Yuejing City, and the other is from Fengxian County to Zhaoguan. Originally, because of the problem of funds, it was chosen by one. Now that the money is too much to be used, it is necessary to use it vigorously, so the two are naturally built together." The clever hand smiled so hard that it was difficult, "And since we have money, it is not so easy for those big merchants to invest, and the threshold is greatly raised. This time, we have to control the shares."

Qin Feng nodded. Building a railway was a win-win situation for the Ming Dynasty. Wherever the railway went, it would require a lot of labor and consume countless materials and materials. It was a very important piece for driving the domestic demand of the Ming Dynasty. The railway from Shayang County to Yuejing City will connect Taiping, Shayang, Zhengyang, and Yuejing City, the economic lifelines of the Ming Empire. In this way, an economic circle can be built around this railway. The existence of the railway will greatly reduce the cost of logistics, increase the flow of people in these developed areas, and increase the economic vitality of these areas. These places are now extremely developed compared to other county governments and have reached a bottleneck. The completion of the railway will enable them to break this bottleneck and go to a new level.

Construction at Zhaoguan can also drive the economic development of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan, making these three county governors, which are still miserable, rejuvenate. More importantly, their position in the military is extremely important. With this railway, the Ming Dynasty can pay attention to Zhao in a very short time. Once the war begins with Qi, this railway will become a major military artery of the Ming Dynasty, and continuously invest the military and material resources.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Works urgently hopes that Your Majesty will take down Xintong County of Qin as soon as possible." said cleverly: "Xintong has iron ore. Those guys from Qin have poor technology. The technology of iron smelting is simply a pile of slag, but the iron ore storage and quality there are no worse than Taiping iron ore. As long as we take over, our Ming Dynasty's steel output will reach a new level."

"There is such a good iron ore in Xintong?" Qin Feng was surprised: "Why did Qin State lack iron in the past? I remember that the border troops in the Luoying Mountains fought with us one by one with broken copper and iron, and were proud to grab our weapons."

"Your Majesty, we only learned about this situation after the spies of the Eagle Nest penetrated. Then we sent people who specialize in exploration of the iron ore with the spies of the Eagle Nest to inquire. Xintong's iron ore was actually controlled by several families. In order to gain the highest profit, they actually joined forces to control the mining of iron ore to increase the price of steel. In addition, their technology is too slack and is still in the stage of smelting in the local smelting stage. Where can this yield be increased? This is begging for food with a golden rice bowl. The two railways are being built at the same time. It can be expected that the price of steel in China in the Ming Dynasty will rise rapidly, which will increase the cost of our railway construction!"

"Well, it's not a problem to buy Xintong first. In the plan of the Ministry of War, we must take Xintong first." Qin Feng nodded and said.

"It's great. When I look back, I will contact Taiping Iron Mine immediately and draw a group of masters and technicians. As soon as they take down Xintong, they will set off immediately to receive these mines, mine, build blast furnaces, smelter iron, and practice steel." The eyes of clever hands only glowed green.

"Okay, I know this. What else is there besides the railway?"

"The second major project is the water conservancy construction of Qinzhou County, Danyang County, and Xingyang County that we occupied in the Qin State. "Qingshou said. "We are planning to build a large hydraulic network that runs across these prefectures and counties to make preliminary preparations for the next major development of these places. These places, except Qingzhou, are all grain-producing areas of Qin State, but these places do not have a complete water conservancy system at all, and rely entirely on the weather for their income. How can we bear this? Even Qingzhou, which surrounds dozens of miles around the county town, is also a good place to grow grain. If other places want to raise horses from the grassland for our Great Qin, let's ignore it for now."

"Why don't you develop the three places of Wuling, Yiyang and Taoyuan first? Those three counties are my Ming Dynasty, and they don't have them yet?" Qin Feng said with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, the population, those three counties, how can there be an extra population now? Danyang and Xingyang are completely different. They were originally the grain-producing areas of the Qin people. The people's lives are still good, with dense population, and there is enough population to support us in carrying out such a large project. Moreover, I also believe that when we build water conservancy in these places, we will give them a great opportunity to have a good impression. We invest money and repair water conservancy for them. We will not charge their labor service. As long as they come to work, we will also pay them wages. Your Majesty, I am sure that as soon as our projects are completed, our Ming Dynasty will completely gain a foothold and take root in these places. By that time, these people will still remember who the Qin emperor is? They will only remember the wisdom and kindness of our Ming emperor." said in a clever manner. "This is very helpful for our Ming Dynasty to quickly digest the occupied land."

"This is very good, it can be found." Qin Feng applauded and applauded: "Skillful hands, it's rare that you can think of these things! It's easy to occupy but difficult to digest. It's not easy to make these Qin people completely loyal to me, Daming. At that time, Lu Dayuan and his 10,000 subordinates stayed in Daming for two years before they returned. If this matter can be accomplished, then we can easily digest the occupied land."

"Your Majesty, this is also because the Qin State is too poor and the people are living too hard. We don't have to pay too much to get a fruitful return. Although these projects are invested heavily, they are in the present and the future. Once they are completed, they can continuously create wealth for our Ming Dynasty!" said cleverly. "But these are just plans now, and the preliminary preparations have not yet begun. In a while, the Political Affairs Hall will get the complete report. Once Your Majesty approves, you can enter the implementation stage."

"Qin State was originally a big country with a rich population. If we took it earlier, we could use this manpower more effectively." Qin Feng said: "Now the population of our Ming Dynasty is still too small. Many places cannot be developed."

"Yes, yes!" Clever feels the same: "The decree of encouraging childbirth issued by His Majesty before will really be effective, at least it will take more than ten years to wait. Conquest will come quickly. To conquer the Qin State can at least alleviate the shortage of manpower in front of us. Once these major projects are launched, manpower will become the biggest problem that hinders the progress of the project."

"By the way, there is another thing. Is the large-scale manufacturing of cement nowadays?" Qin Feng asked: "Cement is used in many places on the front line to build defense lines, and the response is very good. Now the report on cement below is almost flooding the kitten. This thing can not only be used to quickly build defense lines, but also to build roads. It is really practical for the army currently fighting. The road system of Qin State is too poor. Once heavy rain occurs, it will be muddy and difficult to move around."

"Your Majesty, the last difficulty now is how to grind it into powder. This is the last difficulty. The masters of the Ministry of Works are developing hydraulic equipment, but in a short period of time, it may not be effective. Moreover, there are not many minerals such as limestone and marlstone in Taiping County. The Ministry of Works has sent many people to find large mining areas across the country. Once it is found, it is possible to produce large amounts of cement. At present, they can only save some use. When it is used at key points, they can temporarily avoid it." The clever hand said in a hint.

I'm anxious to eat hot tofu! Nothing can be done overnight. Qin Feng sighed, and that's all.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Our Ministry of Works is preparing to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to open our technical school. There are too few technical talents now. The way that the master takes the apprentice alone will not meet our needs at all. At that time, Old Man Xiao will come out to teach apprentices to learn literacy, and we will come out to teach students how to learn technology."

"You can do it yourself. Anyway, aren't your Ministry of Works so much money now? You still need the Ministry of Revenue to allocate additional money, right?"
